Tires MICHELIN or Pirelli

Had Michelin X-ice tires on my g8 GT when I had that. I could hardly tell it was a RWD muscle car.

I have cross climate 2s that are highly rated all weather tires for winter driving. They're phenomenal. My current FWD car drives about the same as my old AWD car did thanks to them.

I love the Pirelli’s though, especially the Sottozero 2 on my 718. In the cold and dry, it doesn’t feel like you’re even giving that much up over the summer performance tires in summer, which is great.

I buy Michelin Pilot Sport all-season tires because their performance means my safety. (Also because they handle well when I’m having fun)

For a second vehicle that still has to be solid in snow, I’d go Michelin X-Ice Snow and not even think twice. They bite way harder on packed snow than any A/T and make a heavy truck like a Silverado feel way more planted on cold mornings. I ran them on my old 1500 and the difference in braking/steering vs. all-terrains was huge.

a dedicated winter like the Michelin X-Ice Snow makes a huge difference on those slick mornings and unplowed side streets.

Just swapped from the OEM 20” Pirelli Scorpions to the Goodyear Wrangler Territories and it’s near perfect now.

pilot sport all season 4 on 22 MYLR. The tires are slightly narrow for a 255 width but work fine. They grip better than original Continentals so steering feels tighter. Also don’t be surprised to see higher power consumption. I reset trip 2 when we put tires on and through 5156 miles are averaging 303 wh/mile.

I can vouch for the author's post. I work at a Hyundai dealership We've been having nothing but problems with Pirelli tires on these new Santa fes and Palisades.... Some will fail after 3,000 km some will fail after 10,000 km all with the same symptoms like the OP post bubbling sidewalls No there was no impact no damage done to rim nothing We've even had instances where these tires have been separating from the inside out the sound depth and foam will be losing its glue on the inside of the tire and come loose while driving cause some massive vibrations

Apparently there are Balancing issues with Pirelli tires. I had Pirelli Scorpions and could never get them right with 3 tire shops.
